It has been for me a BLESSING for being continuously invited and attending SUN LIFE events and or seminars, because i get to learn and be educated more when it comes to managing may finances.

As the eldest among my siblings it is really hard to become the bread winner and budget organizer as I may call it. With all the bills, house expenses, college fees and even my nephews needs I am in charge... But not complaining because i am happy I manage to surpass and overcome all there is to worry about in life's survival way of living.

...and through Sun Life i never even came to realized not until i listened to Mr. Aya Laraya's (Financial Coach of Pesos and Sense) series of talks that i forgot at least 2 much more important that i need to add on my list which is HEALTH AND FUTURE SECURITY.

We sometimes overwhelm ourselves with so much pleasure in life that we forget to be secure in health and on our future. To be honest i was always been wanting and interested to know more about INSURANCE but i just don't know which company to trust with.

And YES i found the security I've been wanting exactly for what i needed to secure my future through SUN LIFE.

But the question now is -will it be available for me with just a minimum owner- honestly I always find insurance suitable only for Big earners because they have this minimum amount to invest monthly. And with me who have those list of goals to pay monthly I am not sure to be capable and suitable to really regularly pay the monthly investment that i need to save monthly. BUT if there's any alternative way to do so that will suit my allotted budget for it I WOULD really love to be part of the Sun Life Financial Company in the Philippines.

I learned from the talk that:

Long -term is a strategy or a time-frame, it is not an excuse.

We seldom take for granted what is also needlessly important in our life thinking we have a long way to go and that it can wait. What we don't realize is that we also grow older and as we grow older a lot more additional expenses and budgeting is needed. I was once told by my mother that it is not a funny thing to save a coin no matter how much it cost everyday because there is 365 days in 1 year and that amount of money could have been a large amount now if i could have had saved it long ago. But because i have so much in mind that I forgot to save even an amount of coin which i used to do i came to reality that long term is indeed not an excuse even for a single amount of money to save. It could have been something that i could use to save for my health or insurance for the future.

Managing my expenses is just life the Jar in the photo with candy's..... as the passing of days it will eventually lessen its number so before it does you have to make sure that you have something to replace it or add more into it because int he long run you should always have something left to sweeten your life as you go on with life... as you age.

So I have to change everything that i used to doing in budgeting and managing my finances. It's never too late it will always be a fresh start and I'm excited to learn more on the next series of Sun Life's Talk looking forward of learning more and more.... Thank You Sun Life!

Step up your cooking with Ajinomoto Philippines Corporation puts together a media activity to showcases the brand PORKSAVOR AL-in-One Seasoning Mix with its new brand ambassadors Mr. Enrique Gil and his mother Mrs. Bambi Gil.

Together with Ms. Nancy Reyes-Lumen and the brand ambassadors conducted live cookign demo in a bid to challenge homemakers to step up their cooking and bring out the meaty goodness of home-cooked dishes using PORKSAVOR took place at the Center for Culinary Arts.

Here are some of the recipe's Ms. Nancy Reyes-Lumen cooked and some withMr. Enrique Gil and his mother Mrs. Bambi Gil.

MEATLESS PANCIT

PORKSAVOR VEGGIE SOUP

Cooking advice with Ms. Nancy Reyes-Lumen

A SIMPLE PASTEL

Now isn't those recipe's delicious with the magic taste of PORKSAVOR?

"Filipino's love food with strong meaty flavors and PORKSAVOR can provide meaty taste and aroma for all types of dishes because it is made from natural pork meat and bone extract, complete with spices and seasonings." ~Ms. Daryl Magno, Ajinomoto's Category Manager

PORKSAVOR can provide the meaty taste in meatless dishes like pancit, which makes a great high fiber snack for those limiting their cholesterol intake. Mrs. Bambi Gil, who knows her way around the kitchen, helped prepared the PORKSAVOR Veggie Soup and Pastel dishes. Both recipes are a step up from the usual "pambaon" ideas and are likewise prefect for the rainy season.

The mother and son tandem of Bambi and Enrique Gil are thrilled to endorse a one-of-a-kind product like PORKSAVOR. While taping for the commercial, enrique was fascinated with the burst of meatiness as he sampled food cooked with PORKSAVOR. Mommy BAmbi loves to cook for her 3 children, and PORKSAVOR can help her put in the effort to make meal times truly enjoyable for the whole family.

Mother and son Mrs. Bambi and Enrique Gil

Surely PORKSAVOR is such a meaty help to all mothers and even chief for an alternative seasoning to make their recipe's taste meatier and more delicious....

Let me share with you a video where in it reminds me of my own personal experience and made me laugh when i remembered it, those where the days I should have had my own Swish breath spray...

Last July 2, Swish launched the #SayItWithSwish video on Facebook which highlighted Swish Breath Spray. It featured a guy who seemed like he was going to propose to his date but it turns out, there is a twist at the end.

The video communicates that during moments wherein you are nervous to say what you want to say, all you have to do is Say It With Swish! The video also highlights the Super Pump which is a hand gesture that mimics the use of Swish Breath Spray; it is a signal to remind someone to boost his confidence with Swish Breath Spray.

This video is an effort of the brand to increase awareness for Swish Breath Spray on digital in the hopes that it will become a viral video. Just 1 week after launch, the video has already reached 920+ thousand views and has received numerous positive comments from the audience.

I myself have my own fare share of #SayItWithSwishor should i say unexpected moment, one of which is joining a beauty pageant when all the candidates are about to go onstage and it was after dinner but since i was enjoying my meal i forgot to rush to brush my teeth and so as the other candidate that night. But you know what i manage to stay confident despite the fact that the host could have had smelled the seafood paella i ate, but what others didn't realized is that i always bring with me a menthol candy hehehe now that's a secret move because i don't want the host to feel like staying away with me while the crowd are all eyes on me... Just like the man on the video he find different ways to speak out to a beautiful girl in front of him without feeling uneasy about his breath just the same with me too bad that moment of mine #SayItWithSwishis not yet available if ever it was of course it could have been my savior for moments like that.

#12

Now that i have my own Swish Breath Spray i always make sure i bring it along with me. It provides instant fresh breath in just 10 seconds. Comes in convenient 10ml bottles. Kills bad breath-causing bacteria so it doesn’t just mask odor. 2 flavors: Arctic Chill and Peppermint Fresh

What i like most with Swish Breath Spray without even feeling guilty is that it is Sugar-free and alcohol-free. Piso per spray (at Php 105.00 and lasts up to 100 sprays) can you just imagine that.....

Available in Mercury Drug, Watsons, South Star, Robinsons, Puregold, Shopwise and other select drugstores/supermarkets nationwide. And it is Made by Unilab

Remember when caught in a situation just liek the guy in the video convert to your own situation and follow the guy's strategy and whenever you need to boost your confidence to say what you want to say, all you have to do is to #SayItWithSwish.
